Blonde Sendi Skopljak, who was born in the city of Mostar in the southern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, now lives in Sweden.

But she still has friends and family in Mostar, where she says her heart is. And the 24-year-old fitness and fashion blogger now also has 800,000 thousand fans and followers on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

“She [Sendi] still has friends and family in Mostar, where she says her heart is”

Her posts consist of exercise videos and tips on fitness, food, and recipes as well as fashion, style, and make up.

She often shares her choice of clothing and look for various events, but is also keen to post pictures of her home city Mostar, which was famously bombed repeatedly during the breakup of the former Yugoslavia, leaving hundreds dead.

During the fighting, the city's famous Old Bridge, built by the Ottomans in the 16th century, was deliberately targeted and destroyed, but later rebuilt.

The bridge was targeted by Serbian-backed forces in 1992 because it was considered to be one of the most famous examples of Islamic architecture in the Balkans.

The bridge also forms the background on one of her most popular pictures, showing her standing near the bridge and posing with her hands forming a heart toward the bridge, under the caption "Where I belong".
